Extension cord recommendations
Use an extension cord that:
 Is an appropriate wire gauge for the cord length and system voltage
 Meets national and local codes

Extension cords can cause the machine to receive less input voltage than
the output of the circuit. This can limit the operation of your system.
Generator recommendations
Generators used with this system must meet the voltage requirements in the following table and in
Hypertherm plasma power supply ratings on page 21.
 Adjust the cutting current (amperage) as needed based on the rating, age, and condition of
the generator.
